The storm will likely affect roads and transportation centers and could cause significant snow accumulation in some parts of the state. Marylanders are cautioned to avoid travel if possible, to follow local forecasts, and to stay prepared for winter storm hazards.<\/p>\n<p>A State of Preparedness enhances the state\u2019s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to potential hazards and threats before they escalate and provides an easy path for information sharing and coordination. Multiple State agencies and departments including emergency management, transportation, law enforcement, and public health are coordinating to prepare for the storm.<\/p>\n<p>A strong area of low pressure is expected to bring the winter storm to Maryland with snowfall beginning Sunday and lasting through Monday evening. Some regions may see significant snow accumulation, though a mix of snow, sleet, and ice is also possible with the storm. Roads are expected to be icy and any unavoidable travel should be done with extreme caution.
